It's my 52nd birthday today.  When I woke up this morning I thought about just staying in bed for a while but after laying there a few minutes I got up and headed down to my gym.  I did take it easier than normal today which felt nice.  I started with 30 minutes of pilates then did a lighter version of lower body weights then usual.

I joined up with the local running club for track work this morning.  Most of them just wanted to take it easy today but Tommy did 3 x 400 m at a good clip with me after having done a couple miles warm up and then we did a little cool down for a total of 5 miles.

After I went down to the lake and did my normal swim.  My googles fogged up though and I overshot my finish so I swam maybe a quarter mile farther than usual so I'll call it 1.2 miles.

I was feeling a bit tired this morning so didn't lift as heavy as I usually do.

2 mile wavey swim. I'm getting better at swimming in the choppy waves on windy days. It's actually kind of fun even though it is more challenging. 
 

6 mile run by the lake.

It was an easier day than usual since we are in Phoenix for Memorial Day weekend, just relaxing and playing at a Resort with Cade and Lane.
